Couple posing by mountain lake
We spent hours here. And because of that, the shadow the clouds had cast on the entire lake and mountain side vanished to reveal an unexpected blue sky and stunning sunlight.

You change your world one day at a time. There is no other way.

Out of office alert at home

hotel website page
Got shut out at last year’s lottery. Yet somehow managed two multi-day reservations. A three-day in July i enjoyed before family arrived for annual trip. A four-night, season-closing res that we had to cancel due to eye surgery.

A healthy sense of urgency is the harvest for being fully present in the moment(s).

Out of office alert at home…

Cultural attention to details.

Who owns it, maintains it, improves it?

Like, who’s personally graded for consistently excellent results?

It’s important to remember and easy to forget that the road to excellence has no finish line.

This exercise was for a tiny Galen detail that hundreds of people do hundreds of different ways.

And from the exercise, now hundred’s are doing it one way — The Galen Way.

Can you start to imaging the magnification and opportunity to creatively have fun addressing anything and everything that you do day in and day out — for your entire career.

The goal is always to have more employees, doing better things, more often.

Launch, learn, revise. Repeat.

It’s only impossible until you do it the first time.

Everything that is currently done the way it is done was once ‘never done that way’.

Organizational Creativity is the DNA of world-class organizations.

Nursing Education never turns down anyone with world class dreams.

Final note: OOO voice messages and OOO text messages need standards and expectations too.

Creativity and vision

Disney Traditions Instructors
One of the highest frontline Cast Member designations is a one-year Cross-U opportunity at Disney University, teaching the Disney Traditions class to newly hired employees (Cast Members). From hundreds, the shy, small-town boy from Spring Grove, PA is standing far left.

Creativity isn’t important, until it suddenly is.

Vision isn’t important, until it suddenly is.

Never get bored with the basics.

First rule of HQ

The close up.

First rule of HQ.

Everything is your responsibility.

Second rule, everything is your fault.

Got care?

Disney Cast Member memorabilia
As i write this post early January 2021, here’s to hoping by the time this goes live (April 22), the first Disney business book is published.

What does every employee at every level universally need and want? World-class job support, and meaningful, powerful recognition.
